     @birdulon @nugger Most pastors and Christians do not read the bible, as many of those who sit down and actually read all of the books in the bible and learn what shit is written in there suddenly are no longer Christians.

     @ALLCAPSPUPPER @RehnSturm256 "OH THIS CAN'T BE ACCURATE!
     ITS PROBABLY A POLL RIGGED WITH QUESTIONS LIKE FLAT EARTH, THE PETERSBURG CREATION MUSEUM WITH CAVEMEN RIDING DINOSAURS AND . . ."
     
     >A majority of adults accept lying, abortion, consensual intercourse between unmarried adults, gay marriage, and the rejection of absolute moral truth as morally acceptable.
     >Less than half of all adults embrace the Bible as their primary guide to morality. A minority believes that every moral choice either honors or dishonors God.
     >A large minority of adults accept the notion that as long as you do no harm, you may do whatever you wish.

     @nugger @ALLCAPSPUPPER @RehnSturm256 >“For instance, one-third of all pastors do not read the Bible during a typical week,” he explained. “That might be compared to a doctor not washing his hands before the operations he performs during a week; it’s unthinkable, almost unimaginable. This particular mistake is most prolific among pastors in the Holiness and traditionally black denominations. About half of them do not read the Bible during the course of a typical week.”

     @RehnSturm256 @nugger WE WANTED TO TRY THIS WHEN THE MARKET WAS DOWN (TAKE OVER IRON MOUNTAIN IN THE UP) BACK WHEN HOUSES WERE 20 GRAND AND EVEN THEN IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE. I KNOW MANY DON'T LIKE TO ADMIT IT BUT QUITE A FEW ARE NEETING IT UP WAITING FOR THEIR PARENTS TO DIE SO THEY GET AN INHERITENCE, THIS MAY BE SUBCONSCIOUS BUT IT DOES KEEP THEM PRISONER, EVEN IF THEY ARE CURRENTLY RENTING A PLACE NEARBY AT HOME
     
     ONCE A MAN IS MARRIED HE TENDS TO ONLY DRIFT AWAY FROM HIS UNMARRIED FRIENDS AS A PEACEKEEPING MEASURE TO AVOID HIS WIFE'S WRATH (SHE WILL UNIVERSALLY CONSIDER THEM A TERRIBLE INFLUENCE BECAUSE THEY STILL WANT/LIKE TO DO THINGS) THIS FACT COUPLED WITH THE CURRENT DIVORCE RATE AND ITS CONQUENCES MAKES MIXING SINGLE AND MARRIED MEN TOGETHER IN ANY ENDEAVOR VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE, DOUBLY SO IF FINANCES BECOME INVOLVED
     
     LASTLY THERE ARE A WHOLE LOT OF ADDICTS THAT CAN HANG WITH THE GANG IN THE DIGITAL MASQUERADE BUT LIVING WITH OR EVEN AROUND THEM WOULD BE UNTENABLE FOR THE REST, THE "TRAILER PARK" REPULSION EFFECT, I AM NOT PICKING ON 'OUR GUYS' SO MUCH HERE AS POINTING OUT THEY'RE INCLUDED IN THE STATISTICAL PROBABILITY (IT'S ALSO EVIDENT BY THEIR BEHAVIOR HERE)

     JUST BLOBBING UP AROUND PARISH BUILDING LOCAL AREA

     @nugger @RehnSturm256 WELL THAT IS MORE OF A CONSEQUENCE OF THE FALLING AWAY IN AMERICA IN GENERAL. WITH OVER 3/4 OF CHURCHES SHRINKING IN SIZE AND "MEGACHURCHES" (WHICH TYPICALLY ATTRACT PEOPLE FROM ENTIRE ZIP CODES AND BEYOND) GROWING, CONGREGATIONS ARE MORE DIVIDED THAN EVER. LOCALISM IS HARDLY THEIR BIGGEST ISSUE THOUGH
     
     ON THE FLIPSIDE, THE REMAINING SMALLER INDEPENDENT CONGREGATIONS THAT ARE TRYING TO STAND IN THE GAP ARE GRABBING FROM A MUCH LARGER POOL OF PEOPLE TO SIEVE OUT THE REMNANT STILL INTERESTED IN ATTENDING A ROCK SOLID CHURCH. IF ANY ARE GOING TO POSSIBLY COME TOGETHER IT'S THESE FOLKS, THEIR BIGGEST OBSTACLE BEING A GENERATIONAL DIVIDE WHERE THE BOOMERS HOLD ALL THE CARDS AND DON'T WANT TO TRY ANYTHING RISKY AND THE YOUNGER MEN ARE JUST ALONG FOR THE RIDE WHETHER THEY LIKE IT OR NOT

     @nugger yea no kidding…but how many people even on poast think like this? Fuckin none. I’ve made similar posts like this before, I care not to bring them back up.

     I’ve been saying similar things since, I dunno 2018 or whatever. It’s 2024 now and guys seem even more isolated, beaten down, lonely.

     @ALLCAPSPUPPER @nugger @RehnSturm256 I don't consider prosperity doctrine to be biblical, and would never attend a church that says prosperity is a sign of faith.
     
     Not trying to pick at nits, but that whole survey is kinda sus.

     @Suiseiseki @nugger Edgy but not entirely wrong, since many are just cultural christians that won't withstand first contact with scripture opposing one of their pet worldviews.

     @sun @ALLCAPSPUPPER @lks @nugger @RehnSturm256 The argument is that it's a prominent, harmful prooftext. Where arguing against sola scriptura falls apart is that the de facto alternative is total irreverence for scripture, as shown in the denominational breakdown of the more clear-cut issues.

     @sun @Suiseiseki @nugger I'm trying very hard to give caths the benefit of the doubt on some of these questions but a few hours ago I saw a self-identified e-cath propose marrying an agnostic over a believer who disagreed on infant baptism.

     @birdulon The bible certainly isn't ambiguous regarding abortion - it says that abortion is required in certain situations.

     @birdulon @sun @ALLCAPSPUPPER @nugger @RehnSturm256 Your de facto alternative is false. Scripture itself tells Christians to follow both scriptures and the traditions taught to the churches.
